As a developer I always had a reason for testing new software and ringing the newest bells. The one mistake I always made before was mixing my writing with my playground. While I was updating the newest blog software, or messing around in my database, and updating my plugins, my writings have repeatedly succumbed to tragic loss.
Then I went to Blogger and left the programming to the professionals. Now I could concentrate on my writing. The time I have had available to write has more than doubled. If you are still interested in my technical analysis, that article can be found here.
My advice was sound though. Keeping it simple has allowed me to concentrate on what blogging is good for. It is like a car. If you like taking it apart all the time, you won't have time to go anywhere.
Instead of getting good at installing blog software. Stick with one and start blogging.
